McCabe: Trump’s ‘Suspicious Behavior’ ‘Gave Us ‘an Articulable Basis ... a Crime May Have Been Committed’

‘We hadn’t concluded that either of those two things had happened, but we were certainly in the place we needed to investigate both sides’

EXCERPT:

STEPHANOPOULOS: “You say us, but this was your decision, right?

MCCABE: “This was the recommendation from the investigative team, and it was ultimately my decision to authorize the opening of the case. And I did that because at the time, the facts clearly indicated that we had an articulable basis to believe that a crime may have been committed and that a threat to national security might exist. We hadn’t concluded that either of those two things had happened, but we were certainly in the place we needed to investigate both sides.”
